Draft electoral roll on December 16: This is how you find your name in it?

According to sources in the EC, the draft list can be viewed in both online and offline modes.
To search the name online, first go to the EC website (eci.gov.in) or the West Bengal Election Commission portal (ceowestbengal.wb.gov.in). One can enter their name and EPIC number to view the draft list. The list will also be available on the software application.

Checking Offline

For those preferring offline checks, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) at each polling station will have the list. If you face issues reaching BLOs, Branch Level Agents (BLAs) will assist.
The ECI will also publish the list of those whose names will be deleted from the electoral roll.

Announcing deceased-absent-shifted voters

The EC will not only have those names, which will be excluded from the draft list, but also those names which are already being excluded from the electoral roll as those forms are uncollected during the time frame within which enumeration forms have to be submitted.

According to ECI after December 11, a total of 58,17,851 forms remained uncollectable which is 7.59% of the total electoral roll. Out of this, around 58 crore electors, 24,19,158 are deceased, 12,10,434 are untraceable, 19,92,816 are permanently shifted, 1,37,747 are already enrolled and 57,696 are for other reasons.

According to the Election Commission, the highest number of uncollectable forms are in Kolkata South and Kolkata North. Howrah and Paschim Bardhaman are following these to electoral districts. North and South 24 Parganas also have around 10% uncollectable forms.”Names of electors with uncollected forms will be published at concerned booths by December 16. Post publication, voters can apply for additions or deletions, and even flag concerns about deceased or duplicate entries,” said a senior ECI official.

The EC will verify claims and may call for hearings. Check your name, and get ready to engage in the electoral process.
